Techniques are described for integrated sharing of media playback interactions (MPIs). Responsive to consumer interactions with media content during playback of a media file, embodiments can produce MPIs corresponding to the consumer's changes in the playback presentation of the content. The MPIs can be associated with the media file as one or more sharable embedded MPIs (EMPIs). A consumer can share the media file with its associated EMPIs. When the same or a different consumer subsequently accesses the content from the media file, embodiments permit playback of the content with selective access to the EMPIs. For example, a first consumer can share media content with its associated EMPIs, thereby permitting a second consumer control over which portions of the media content are played back with and without experiencing the first consumer's EMPIs.
